Advantages: Inductive Method

The inductive method is the opposite of the direct and deductive methods of teaching. It uses inquiry, problem-solving, and project-based approaches that begin with specific questions, problems, or details and lead students to form generalizations and conclusions. This engages students more in the learning process as they formulate rules and generalizations with teacher guidance. It also makes learning more interesting by starting with students' experiences and develops higher-order thinking as students analyze patterns to reach generalizations. However, it requires more time so less content can be covered, and teachers must have strong facilitating skills to guide students to conclusions.

Inductive Method

The opposite of direct method and deductive method is inductive method. This is also
called indirect instruction.

The inquiry method problem or problem solving method and project method fall under
indirect, guided and exploratory approach to instruction. They begin with questions,
problems and details and end up with answer, generalizations, and conclusions. Therefore,
they will fall under the inductive method of teaching, the opposite of the deductive method.
Advantages

1. The learners are more engaged in the teaching-learning process. With our facilitating
skills, learners formulate the generalization or rule.
2. Learning becomes more interesting at the outset because we begin with the
experiences of our students. We begin with what they know.
3. It helps the development of our learners’ higher-order-thinking-skills (HOTS). To see
patterns and analyze the same in order to arrive at generalizations requires analytic
thinking.
Disadvantages

1. It requires more time and so less subject matter will be covered. We need much time
to lead our students to formulation of generalization.
2. It demands expert facilitating skills on the part of the teacher. We’ve got to ask the
right questions, organize answer and lead the learners to the generalization or
conclusion.
